Learn How the Outsourced Video Works

Read the Instructions for how to request, sign up, send, and receive your outsourced clips
There are 2 ways to get to the Outsourced Video information:

• 10-3A wiki > under "Multimedia Artifact" > Outsourcing

OR

• Project Help wiki > under "Video" > Outsourcing

Thursday, Nov. 4

Show Mrs. Magadance what you've been doing in the project since the last time she was with you!

Finish Storyboarding

Remember your video is a combination of your general topic (WWW, Web 2.0, PLEs, etc) with one of the "six senses" from A Whole New Mind

• A: Story
• B: Innovation, Invention, and Prediction
• C: Social Entrepreneurship
• D: Frist Person Narrative (Empathy)
• E: Group Stories (Symphony)
• F: How We Live (Play)

See the Video Mashups section of the Topics page (and follow the links there) for more information

Present your video idea to your classmates

Give a 2-minute (or less) "pitch" explaining your vision for your video

• Tell your classmates what your technology topic is and which of the "six senses" you're using
• Use the document camera to show your storyboard as a visual aid
• If you have a specific question or something you especially want feedback on, say so :)

Classmates give supportive feedback on each video

• I like . . .
• I notice . . .
• I wonder . . .
• What if . . .

Make Your Outsourced Clip Request

• Go to 10-3A wiki > under "Multimedia Artifact" > Outsourced Video Request
• Find your name under the ISA section
• Look at an example of a perfect outsourcing request
  • On the FCP 10-2 Outsourced Video Request page
  • Search for 2020 to see the exchange between Karishma J and Emily K
• Fill in the template with the details of your request
  • Link your name to your FCP Ning profile
  • List your team (1A, 2B, 3C, etc)
  • Describe your request - be very, very specific and be sure your request is "do-able"
  • Record the date
  • Leave the last three spaces blank - these will be filled in by the student who responds to your request
• Remember, the simpler your request, the more likely it will get done!
• Be sure to link to your Ning profile so the person fulfilling your request can message you
